On the single sofa on one side of the living room, Jiang Yucheng sat expressionlessly in place, with the tea cup in front of him fainting on the table with water marks.
After a while, he tilted his gaze slightly towards Jiang Su and spoke calmly, but asked, "Xu Xu is my daughter, my daughter, doesn't she deserve to be your sister?"
The boy who was so reckless just now is visibly timid.
"Uncle, I didn't mean that..."
Jiang Huai, standing beside him, looked at his father with a smile as he suppressed the small one. He turned his head and simply looked at Lu Xuexi,
"Xuexi, do you feel wronged living in the Jiang family?"
Lu Xuexi was called out, and his face turned pale. He quickly denied it and said, "No, Jiang Huai, you misunderstood me."
"Since it's not there, don't say those misunderstood words in the future." Jiang Huai still had a smile at the end of his eyes, his voice warm and pleasant, but with a pressure that made people dare not make mistakes easily.
Lu Xuexi opened his mouth and lowered his head for a moment before daring to say more. He only lowered his head and bit his lips in secret.
Yao Lin on the side spoke up in a timely manner and said, "It's because I didn't arrange it properly. It's just one room, not enough."
"Aunt Er's arrangement is indeed a bit inappropriate." Jiang Huai, as the eldest grandson of the Jiang family, never tactfully treats her elders. "Xu Xu is my younger sister, the eldest lady of the Jiang family, living in a room that others have left unused for the renovation of their child's house. It's a bit of a joke to hear about it."
As he spoke, he suddenly grabbed Guan Xuxu's shoulder and looked protective, "My sister didn't come home to suffer such injustice."
One sentence, intentionally or unintentionally, made the nearby Lu Xuexi blush.
As soon as she hinted that everyone had suffered injustice, Jiang Huai turned around and said that letting Guan Xuxu live in the room she had used was the injustice.
Isn't this hitting her face?
On this side, Guan Xuxu's body stiffened even more as he was suddenly grabbed by his shoulder.
I don't know if it's because of Jiang Huai's actions or his words.
I can't really say anything about being wronged.
Compared to what I received at Guanjia, neither of these sentences counts.
But this is the first time that someone cares if she will be wronged.
My heart felt warm, as if it was the first time I felt what kind of existence my family was.
Yao Lin's face was clearly a bit awkward, but she secretly cursed Jiang Huai for not giving herself face as usual. She instinctively looked at Jiang Yucheng and Jiang Laozi next to her, but saw that neither of them spoke. At that moment, she could only endure the frustration in her heart and strive to maintain her elegance on her face,
"What Jiang Huai said is that Aunt Er didn't consider it carefully, so I'll have someone rearrange it."
Jiang Huai immediately smiled and nodded at her, "Then it's up to Aunt Er to handle it as soon as possible."
Turning to the crowd, "I'll take Xu Xu to the garden for a walk first."
After speaking, regardless of the opinions of the people in the hall, he took Guan Xuxu to the garden.
After the two of them left, the atmosphere in the hall sank. Yao Lin was extremely aggrieved and wanted to explain. Just then, the butler outside walked in and said to Mr. Jiang,
"Master, the gatekeeper called and said that a Mrs. Guan is coming to visit."
Surnamed Guan, everyone instinctively thought of Guan Xuxu.
Xin said, didn't this person just come over from the Guan family? Why did they chase after him again?
"Are you here to find Xuxu? It seems that you can't bear to part with this child," said Aunt Jiang with a smile, also easing the atmosphere.
She just noticed that Guan Xuxu entered without any luggage.
Although I don't know why, the Guan family should have come specifically to deliver their luggage.
Yes, knowing that Xuxu is the daughter of the Jiang family, no matter how confused the Guan family is, they wouldn't do such a foolish thing as not even giving luggage.
The butler seemed to hesitate for a moment and said, "Mrs. Guan said she's here to visit Madam San."
Madam Jiang's smile stiffened at the corner of her mouth, inexplicably bewildered. "Looking for me?"
Why is Guan's wife not looking for the child??
On the other side.
The garden of the Jiang family is a typical European style, with the retro fence on the side of the villa filled with roses. The well maintained lawn exudes greenery, making it even more brilliant in the scorching summer.
Guan Xuxu followed behind Jiang Huai, listening to him casually introducing some small things in the garden. However, his mind quietly drifted back to the scene where Jiang Huai helped him stand out in the living room just now.
It's a bit strange and subtle.
After a while, she couldn't help but speak softly, "Thank you."
Jiang Huai paused in his footsteps, looked at her, and suddenly smiled and rubbed her head. "With my brother, there's no need to say thank you," he said
Guan Xuxu looked at him like that, accompanied by his disheveled hair, his whole body inexplicably exuded a silly and cute feeling, making Jiang Huai's smile deepen at the corners of his eyes.
Just as he was about to say something more, his phone rang in time. Jiang Huai glanced at the incoming call and gestured for Guan Xuxu to stroll around, then walked over to answer the phone.
Guan Xuxu walked forward for about ten steps, and suddenly, her gaze fell on a lady in the garden corner pavilion who was wiping tables and chairs.
At around fifty years old, the sister-in-law may not look impressive on the outside, but from Guan Xuxu's perspective, it is easy to see the trace of Yin Sha Qi entwined around her body, which is only possessed by those who have been tainted with evil.
Guan Xuxu generally does not like to meddle in his own affairs because actively getting involved can easily lead to cause and effect.
But if the person in front of her is left unattended, the Yin Sha energy on her body may affect the rest of the family.
She walked forward.
The sister-in-law was holding a cloth in her hand, mechanically wiping it with a somewhat dull expression. She occasionally looked in one direction at the end of her eyes, and only when Guan Xuxu walked up to her did she suddenly come back to her senses and hurriedly greet her,
"Big and Miss."
"Do you recognize me?" Guan Xuxu was a bit surprised. She had just arrived at this house for just over half an hour, and the people of the Jiang family didn't recognize each other.
"The butler took a photo and asked all the servants in the family to recognize it in advance, so that we wouldn't accidentally bump into the young lady." The sister-in-law smiled and explained to her pleasantly.
Guan Xuxu didn't expect the Jiang family to make such arrangements in advance, silently but thoughtfully, which is truly the style of the big family.
"Miss, what's up?" Sister in law asked again when she didn't speak.
Just as Guan Xuxu was about to speak, he saw two familiar figures suddenly walking towards the garden gate.
It's Bai Shuqin and Guan Ruirui.
When the two were led in by the butler in a suit, they both saw Guan Xuxu in the pavilion at the same glance. At the moment they saw her, both of them looked shocked.
"How could you be here?!"
